Cookie Policy
Last Updated: October 15, 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
How We Use Cookies
Content Drifter (a product of Mtaclabs LLC) uses cookies and similar browser storage to:
- Keep you signed in: Remember your authentication session and protect your account
- Remember your choices: Your cookie answer, your theme, your brand workspace and a closed bar
- Fit the site to you: Note that you have been here before and which audience page you last read, so the homepage matches
- Credit referrals and channels: Keep a referral code, and the link or campaign that brought you here
- Measure how the site is used: Product analytics and visit measurement, after you accept analytics
What We Set, and When
Analytics and advertising wait for your yes. Essential cookies are set without asking because the site needs them, and so are the small choices you make yourself: your cookie answer, your theme and a closed bar.
Where we ask first. If you visit from the European Union (27 countries), Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, with their overseas departments, islands and dependencies, or if we cannot tell which country you are in, four cookies wait until you press Accept: cd_returning, cd_landing_segment, cd_referral_code and cd_attribution. Until then we keep what they would hold in this page's memory only: nothing is written to your browser, and it is gone when you close or reload the page. If you sign up in the same visit, the referral code and the first-touch link still go with your sign-up, so the person who referred you is credited. If you reject, nothing is written.
Everywhere else those cookies are set on your first visit, as the table shows, and the first-touch attribution cookie is removed if you reject analytics. Clear your browser storage to be asked again.
Essential
Needed for sign-in, security and your cookie answer. The site stops working without them, so there is no switch for them.
__session__client_uatKeep you signed in and protect your account.
- Set by:
- Clerk, our sign-in provider (cookie)
- Lasts:
- While you stay signed in; typically ends after 30 days of inactivity

cd_active_brandRemember which brand workspace you are working in, set when you switch brand while signed in.

cd_didOnly on the sign-up and sign-in pages: a random id for this browser, so the free trial is given once to a person and not again to the same browser. Not readable by scripts, and only a scrambled copy of it (a hash, never the id) is kept on our side. It is not set at all where we ask before setting a cookie that is not strictly needed (see the countries below), and a repeat is never refused sign-up: the account just starts on Free.

Preferences and plain memory
Small memories that make the site fit you, none of which follow you to other sites. A choice you make yourself (a closed bar, your theme) is set at once. The ones that remember where you came from, or that you have been here before, wait for your Accept in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, and are set on your first visit elsewhere.
themeRemember light or dark.
- Set by:
- Content Drifter (next-themes) (browser storage)
- Lasts:
- Until you clear your browser storage
- When:
- Set without asking
cd_sticky_cta_dismissedRemember that you closed the sign-up bar, so it stays away for a day.
- Set by:

- Lasts:
- 24 hours
- When:
- Set without asking
cd_returningMark that you have been here before, so the homepage greets you as a returning visitor.
- Set by:
- Content Drifter (cookie)
- Lasts:
- 1 year
- When:
- Only after you accept in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland; on your first visit elsewhere
cd_landing_segmentRemember which audience page you last looked at (for example creators or agencies), so the homepage matches it.
- Set by:
- Content Drifter (cookie)
- Lasts:
- 30 days
- When:
- Only after you accept in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland; on your first visit elsewhere
cd_referral_codeOnly when you arrive through a referral link: keeps the code so the person who referred you is credited when you sign up. Before you accept, the code is held in this page only, and still credits them if you sign up in the same visit.

cd_consent_syncedWhen you are signed in: remember that your analytics answer has been saved on your account.
- Set by:
- Content Drifter (browser storage)
- Lasts:
- Until you clear your browser storage
- When:
- Set without asking
cd-video-toolOnly if you press "Schedule it to TikTok, Reels and Shorts" on a free video tool: keeps your photos in this browser while you sign up, so they can follow you into Post Studio. Nothing is sent to us until you are signed in.

Analytics
How people find and use the site. Analytics is switched on only after you accept, with one exception that the table marks: outside the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland the first-touch cookie is set until you reject.
cd_attributionFirst touch: the link, campaign or site that brought you here and the page you landed on, so we know which channel a sign-up came from. It is removed if you reject analytics. Before you accept, it is held in this page only, and still goes with a sign-up made in the same visit.

Who Is Behind Them
These services set or read the cookies above, or set their own:
- Clerk (sign-in): Signs you in, with email and password or with Google, and sets the sign-in cookies above.
- PostHog (product analytics): Records the pages you view and the actions you take. When you are signed in it links them to you: it receives your account ID, email, name and plan. Our servers also send PostHog events about what happens on your account (signing up, subscribing, publishing), tied to your account ID. Nothing is sent for an account that declined analytics.
- Google Analytics 4: Measures visits and where they come from. Loads only after you accept analytics.
- Meta Pixel, Google Ads and LinkedIn Insight (advertising): Measure which ads lead to sign-ups. Each loads only if we have switched it on and only after you accept marketing. None is switched on at the date of this update. They never run on a customer's public link page or a client review link.
- Google Sign-In and the social networks you connect: Set their own cookies when you use them. We do not control those; see their policies.
- Stripe (payments): Runs the checkout and may set its own cookies there. See its privacy policy.
We do not control the cookies other companies set. Please refer to their privacy policies, and to our Privacy Policy, for what each does with the data.

Frequently asked questions
What cookies does Content Drifter set?
Three kinds, plus the services behind them. Essential cookies keep you signed in and secure the connection of a social account, and you cannot opt out of them because the site stops working without them. Preference cookies remember small things such as your theme or a closed bar, and they do not follow you to other sites. Analytics cookies, from our own analytics (PostHog) and Google Analytics, are set only after you accept analytics. Four small cookies (that you have been here before, which audience page you read, a referral code, and the link or campaign that brought you here) wait for your Accept if you visit from the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, or from a country we cannot tell. Elsewhere they are set on your first visit, and the first-touch one is removed if you reject analytics. Advertising pixels would load only after you accept marketing. The list on this page names every one.
Is your analytics anonymous?
No, and we do not call it that. While you browse without an account, PostHog counts your visits against a random identifier in your browser. Once you sign in, it links your activity to you: it receives your account ID, email, name and plan, and our servers send it events about your account, such as signing up or subscribing. All of it starts only after you accept analytics, and an account that declined analytics is not sent any.
How do I turn cookies off?
Reject or Manage on the cookie banner for analytics and advertising, and your browser for the rest: this page lists where the setting lives in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Turning off the essential ones will stop you signing in at all, which is a real trade rather than a warning we are obliged to print.
How long do your cookies last?
It depends on the cookie, and each one is listed with its lifetime. Connection checks last 10 minutes, the closed-bar memory 24 hours, the landing page memory 30 days, the first-touch attribution cookie 90 days, and the returning-visitor, referral and brand cookies a year. Our authentication cookie typically ends after 30 days of inactivity, so an account you leave alone for a month asks you to sign in again.
